Carole King's Story Is Coming To Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --  For fans of Carole King, her songs will be filling the Academy of Music in March when 'Beautiful,' the Broadway story of her life, comes to town.

The Philly Pops will also feature her music in the new year.

You could call her the curator of the soundtrack to the 50's and 60s, a hit collector with 118 billboard top-100 hits.

But singer-songwriter Carole King was also a star collector working with friends like James Taylor, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.

And this year she was celebrated at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington.

As an honoree who represents the voices sound tracks and stories of our time and next year, her time will come in Philadelphia.

Like with the Philly Pops in tapestry to Carole King's songbook.

Another way you can sing along to the live of this legend by watching her story come to life on Broadway.

It's a story of rock and roll and since Philly is such a great music town, it makes that connection.
